Review of Bagdad Cafe (1987) by Vanessa L — 29 Mar 2007

[font=Kristen ITC][color=#000000]Cast: Marianne Sägebrecht ([b]Jasmin[/b]), CCH Pounder ([b]Brenda[/b]), Jack Palance ([b]Rudi[/b] [b]Cox[/b]), Christine Kaufmann ([b]Debby[/b])[/color][/font].

[font=Kristen ITC][color=#000000]I have watched this movie numerous times, and it never falls to entertain me. From the haunting theme song ?Calling You? to the triumphs at the end of the movie, I know that I will continually watch this over the years. [/color][/font].

[font=Kristen ITC][color=#000000]Jasmin has a row with her husband and takes off, and finds herself at a truck-stop café. Jasmin decides to stay on at the motel, and in turn meets and ultimately befriends Brenda, Rudi and Debbiy. Jack Palance is wonderful as a quirky ex-set decorator who is fascinated by Jasmine and wants to paint her; with or without clothes.[/color][/font].

[font=Kristen ITC][color=#000000]It's almost as if the other characters have used the desert has a "hide away from the world" pit stop.[/color][/font].
